How To Get Free Wood Chips

Using free wood chips to make compost is one of the many ways that we are trying to save money, when getting The Land ready for our move. This morning we were excited to see that our community compost area had been filled up with wood chips - free wood chips from two local pine trees that one of our neighbors had removed by a local tree company a few days ago.

Finding Free Plants: Aloe Vera

Here at Dancing Treetops we are all about saving plants, and this often means that we rescue plants discarded by others. This past weekend, when walking to the land for our weekend work, we discovered that some of our new neighbors had thrown out about a dozen aloe vera plants at the opposite side of the road.

We love finding free plants, and we have a soft spot for these aloe vera plants, since we've been envious of them for years. The mature aloe vera plants were surrounding a tree in an empty lot, where the house burned down about a decade ago. The lot has been empty ever since, although the lawn was fenced in and it was maintained nicely. The lot was recently sold, and our new neighbors removed almost all plants and trees on the half acre lot. They have been bringing in palms and flowers instead, so its not a complete loss, although there is nothing native left on the property.

Aloe vera plants are quite spiky, so in order to rescue them our oldest son had to return home for a…

How To Compost Palmetto Palms

With a little less than half an acre of native Florida woodland and brush to remove and then fill with soil, composting everything we remove just makes sense. In the previous post, we showed you how to remove palmettos, but we are even more eager to show you how to compost palmettos.

Growing Elderberries For Making Your Own Elderberry Juice

Growing up on a farm, elderberry juice was something my parents swore to, when it came to fighting viruses such as the flu. So, when I discovered that we had wild elderberry (Sambucus) growing down the street from us, I began dreaming of how I too could grow elderberries and of how I could make elderberry juice to keep my family healthy.

Welcome To Dancing Treetops

Dancing Treetops is based on our family's passion for living a green, frugal life.

As a family of seven, with dad being a science and math teacher and mom being a stay-at-home mom, our budget is and always has been tight. Over the years we have learned a lot of frugal lessons, which we previously shared with our readers at Frugality Is Free, but time has come for a change.

Over the past couple of years we have been trying to find our right space in the blogoshpere, as we went from city living to small-town living.

Thanks to our frugal lifestyle, we have been able to make moves that have benefited our family greatly, and with our recent family expansion the time is now.

How To Grow Sweet Potato Slips

With a new baby in the house, sweet potatoes are very popular. Of course, buying organic produce is expensive, so we have opted to grow as much produce as possible. Growing sweet potatoes is easy, simple and quite inexpensive, and there is no reason to go out and purchase sweet potato slips, as you can easily grow sweet potato slips at home.
